Required:

• 1+ years of B2B SaaS sales experience with a proven track record of closing deals end-to-end along a clearly defined funnel.
• Native-level German with a confident, professional phone and demo presence.
• Experience handling high volumes of inbound demo appointments (8–16/day).
• Strong CRM hygiene and structured pipeline management; comfortable owning monthly and quarterly quotas.
• Solid product and technical understanding enabling effective SaaS demonstrations.
• Experience collaborating with Marketing and Customer Success on feedback loops and forecasting.

• Familiarity with AI, telephony, or contact centre technologies in a SaaS context.

COMPENSATION & BENEFITS

• OTE: €100,000–€150,000 (competitive base salary plus uncapped commission).
• Top-of-the-line equipment of your choice.
• A high-growth environment with significant career development opportunities as the team expands.
